Restaurant in Hamburg, Germany
Three Michelin stars. Book months ahead.
Hamburg's only three-Michelin-star restaurant, The Table Kevin Fehling is the city's highest-credentialled creative tasting experience — ranked #303 in Europe by OAD in 2025 and scoring 95.5 on La Liste. Book three to six months ahead minimum. Tuesday to Saturday dinner only. If availability is the barrier, Restaurant Haerlin is the most credible two-star alternative in the city.
Expect to spend at the leading of Hamburg's dining price tier — €€€€ — for a three-Michelin-starred tasting menu that sits among the most technically ambitious creative cooking in northern Germany. At this level, The Table Kevin Fehling is not a casual dinner decision. It is the right booking if you want a benchmark creative tasting experience in Hamburg and are willing to plan months ahead to get a seat. If that describes you, book without hesitation. If you want something easier to secure at a similar price point, Restaurant Haerlin offers two-Michelin-star French creative cooking in Hamburg with somewhat more accessible reservations.
The Table has held three Michelin stars since Kevin Fehling relocated his kitchen to Hamburg's HafenCity district, and the 2025 cycle confirmed the rating holds. La Liste scores it at 95.5 points in 2025, placing it in the top tier of European fine dining by that measure. Opinionated About Dining ranked it #303 in Europe for 2025, up from #336 in 2024 , a meaningful upward move in a ranking that tends to reflect sustained kitchen consistency rather than short-term press cycles. A 4.8 Google rating across 446 reviews is unusually strong for a restaurant at this price and formality level, where polarised opinions are common.
The editorial angle that matters most when deciding whether to book here is how The Table positions its sourcing philosophy relative to its price. At three-Michelin-star level in Germany, ingredient procurement is a primary driver of cost and quality differentiation. Fehling's creative menu format , open Tuesday through Saturday from 7pm , is structured around a tasting progression, which means the kitchen's sourcing decisions shape every course rather than just the headline dishes. This is not a kitchen cutting corners on raw materials to finance a spectacular room: the format places the plate at the centre of the proposition. For diners comparing this against Paris equivalents, Arpège and Alléno Paris au Pavillon Ledoyen occupy a similar creative-sourcing ethos at comparable price tiers, though each takes a distinct approach to what the ingredients are asked to do.
Within Germany's three-star set, The Table's Hamburg location is worth contextualising. Most of Germany's highest-rated restaurants sit outside major cities , Aqua in Wolfsburg, Schwarzwaldstube in Baiersbronn, Vendôme in Bergisch Gladbach. The Table is one of the few operating inside a major German city, which matters for trip planning: you can combine it with Hamburg as a destination rather than building a standalone detour. That convenience doesn't reduce the booking difficulty, but it does reduce the logistical cost of attending. For a comparison at the two-star level with easier Hamburg access, 100/200 Kitchen and Piment are the local alternatives worth considering, with Koer representing a newer creative voice in the city.
The physical address , Shanghaiallee 15 in HafenCity , puts the restaurant in Hamburg's modern harbour development rather than the historic Altstadt. HafenCity is a purpose-built contemporary district, and the restaurant's design reflects that context. For explorers building a Hamburg food trip, the bianc modern Mediterranean programme also sits in this price bracket and offers a contrasting register if you want two high-end dinners across a longer stay.
Service runs Tuesday to Saturday evenings only, with Monday and Sunday closed. The late closing time of midnight across all service days suggests the kitchen is designed for a long, unhurried tasting format rather than quick double sittings. That is relevant for group planning: allow the full evening. Germany's other ambitious tasting formats , JAN in Munich, CODA Dessert Dining in Berlin, ES:SENZ in Grassau , follow similar pacing conventions at this price tier.
The combination of three Michelin stars, a 95.5 La Liste score, and a measurable upward move in the OAD Europe ranking positions The Table as Hamburg's single highest-credentialled restaurant by any metric currently available. For an explorer who travels for food and wants to understand what Hamburg's leading kitchen can do, this is the right room. The decision is really about logistics: can you secure a booking, and is the travel window aligned with Tuesday-to-Saturday service?

Book as early as you can , three to six months ahead is the practical minimum for a three-Michelin-star Hamburg restaurant with Tuesday-to-Saturday-only dinner service. The combination of limited service days and near-impossible booking difficulty means last-minute availability is rare. Join any cancellation list available after booking fills. If your dates are fixed and the restaurant is sold out, Restaurant Haerlin at two Michelin stars is the most credible Hamburg alternative and is somewhat easier to secure.
The format is a set creative tasting menu , there is no à la carte selection to navigate. The kitchen's sourcing-driven approach means the menu evolves with what the kitchen is working with, so specific dish recommendations would be out of date before you arrive. Trust the progression: at three Michelin stars and a 95.5 La Liste score, the menu is the point. Communicate dietary restrictions clearly when booking, not on the night.
Yes, and arguably better for a solo diner than a large group. A long, unhurried tasting format with service closing at midnight is well-suited to a single diner who wants to focus on the food. The €€€€ price tier is significant for a solo booking, but the per-head cost is the same regardless of party size. Hamburg is a city with enough to build a solo trip around , see our Hamburg restaurants guide and Hamburg hotels guide for broader planning.
At three Michelin stars, a 95.5 La Liste score, and a measurable upward OAD Europe ranking move in 2025, The Table is priced in line with its credentials , not above them. The question is whether a creative tasting format is the right spend for your trip. If you are comparing against a Paris three-star like Arpège, Hamburg's lower base cost of travel and accommodation can make the overall trip more affordable even at the same restaurant price tier. Within Germany, this is the most decorated restaurant in Hamburg, and by award metrics it outperforms most of the country's two-star options at any city location.
Yes, provided the occasion suits a long, formal tasting dinner on a weekday or Saturday evening. The midnight service window means you are not rushed. The three-Michelin-star credential and the setting in HafenCity give it the occasion weight most special dinners need. For a more relaxed special occasion at a lower booking difficulty, bianc or Landhaus Scherrer are worth considering at the same €€€€ tier with less demanding reservation lead times.
Dinner only , the restaurant does not offer lunch service. Tuesday to Saturday, 7pm is the single service window. If a weekday dinner is a constraint, plan around the Saturday slot, which gives the most flexible travel-day options. Monday and Sunday are closed, so weekend-only visits require Saturday specifically.

How The Table Kevin Fehling stacks up against the competition.
Expect to book three to six months in advance at minimum. The Table holds three Michelin stars and is open only Tuesday through Saturday evenings, which sharply limits available covers each week. Release dates for new reservation slots sell out within hours, so set an alert and book the moment slots open. Waiting for a last-minute cancellation is a low-probability strategy at this level.
There is no à la carte menu at The Table. Kevin Fehling serves a single tasting menu format, so the kitchen decides the progression. At €€€€ pricing with three Michelin stars confirmed in 2025, the menu represents Fehling's full creative range — arriving with dietary requirements or restrictions noted in advance is the standard approach for adjustments.
Yes, and it may actually suit solo diners well. The counter-style seating format in HafenCity typically places guests at or near the open kitchen, which means solo diners engage directly with the cooking rather than sitting at an undersized table. The tasting menu format also removes any awkwardness around ordering pacing. Confirm the seating arrangement when booking.
At €€€€ and three Michelin stars — a rating held across multiple cycles and confirmed again in 2025 — The Table sits at the top of Hamburg's dining tier, and the recognition from La Liste (95.5 points, 2025) and OAD (Top 303 in Europe, 2025) backs that position. If creative, technically demanding tasting menus are your format, the case for booking is strong. If you prefer flexibility or à la carte, this is not the right fit; consider Landhaus Scherrer for a less structured Hamburg dinner.
It is one of the strongest choices in Hamburg for a high-stakes occasion, provided both guests are committed to a full tasting menu evening. The dinner-only format (Tuesday to Saturday, 7 pm start) structures the night around the meal, which suits milestone celebrations well. The HafenCity address also makes it easy to combine with a harbour walk before or after. For smaller budgets or groups wanting more flexibility, bianc offers a more accessible Hamburg alternative.
Dinner only. The Table does not serve lunch; hours run Tuesday through Saturday from 7 pm to midnight, with Monday and Sunday closed. There is no midday seating to consider, so all bookings are evening slots.
